Operating System: Windows 2000 Professional

Service Packs/Patches: SP 1 (optional), SP 2 (optional), SP3 (optional)

Shipping/Release Date: March 25, 2002

Hardware Requirements

CPU Speed:

450 MHz Minimum.

650 MHz Recommended

Processor:

Pentium or higher

Memory/RAM:

128 MB minimum, 256 MB recommended or higher

Swap Space:

300 MB minimum

Utilizing Windows Terminal Server technology may require additional MB, depending on the

number of clients running off the server.

Disk Space:

ArcInfo Desktop 8.2:

605 MB NTFS

690 MB FAT32

ArcInfo Workstation 8.2:

695 MB NTFS

Disk Space Requirements:

Disk spaces do not include the 50 MB of system drive space needed for installation (typically

C:\Winnt\System32). The disk space requirement for each of the ArcInfo 8.2 components are

provided in the Setup program.

Notes:

Internet Explorer 5.0 requirement:

Some features of ArcInfo 8.2 require a minimum installation of Microsoft Internet Explorer

Version 5.0. The setup program offers an English installation of Microsoft Internet Explorer

Version 5.5.

If you are using a non-English operating system, you must obtain and install the appropriate

License Manager Requirements:

Simple TCP/IP, Network Card or Microsoft Loopback Adapter.

For the best performance, the following are recommended:

- True color monitor with a minimum of 16MB video card

- An OpenGL graphics card is recommended to optimize performance in ArcScene. Texture

mapping will be better optimized using an OpenGL graphics card with 32MB, or more, of on-

board texture memory.

-Installation to a fast, NTFS (New Technology File System) hard drive is strongly recommended.
